A Canandaigua man faces two felony charges for what police say is insurance fraud and grand larceny.

New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and New York State Department of Financial Services Thursday, April 10, charged 50 year-old John L. Grega, of Canandaigua with third-degree insurance fraud, and third degree grand larceny, both class D felonies.

Police allege Grega filed a fraudulent no-fault claim for lost wages with his auto insurance carrier, claiming injuries he suffered after a motor vehicle accident in June 2013 left him unable to work. That false claim made is possible for him to illegally obtain more than $4,700 in benefits, police said.

Grega was arraigned in Geneva City Court and remanded to the Ontario County Jail without bail, as he has prior felony convictions, police said. He is scheduled to return to court in May.
